Based out of Scarborough, ME, Hannaford provide residents of New England and upstate New York with grocery needs.

Hannaford originally started on the Portland, ME, waterfront in 1883, with a solitary produce shop. After over 100 years of steady growth, the grocery chain manages almost 200 supermarkets across the Northeastern region of the United States. Common items found at the grocery store include baked goods, dairy products, deli meats, produce, liquor, and pharmacy items. Toward the beginning of the 20th century, Delhaize Group, a Belgian grocery corporation, purchased the supermarket. The acquisition helped the regional grocer become one of the largest supermarket chains in the Northeast serving shoppers in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont.

The popular supermarket employs close to 26,000 associates to run hundreds of locations. Unsurprisingly, the grocery store chain consistently needs to hire dedicated new employees across the network of stores. Entry-level workers and experienced job seekers alike stand great chances of finding employment with the grocery chain. The application form asks for job history, character references, extracurricular activities, contact information, and availability. Easily found online, the application allows prospective associates to apply for any job desired. In general, applicants must stand at least 16 years old to gain hiring consideration.

With such a large workforce, Hannaford often hires workers to carry out specific duties. Cashiers handle cash transactions with customers, baggers bag groceries and occasionally help patrons load vehicles, stockers fill shelves and keep stationed areas clean, and managers make sure staff members work hard to maximize customer appreciation. While a regular day may require general duties, employees should also expect to crossover with other departments during holidays, weekends, sales promotions, and other busy periods. Applicants may also need to meet several physical requirements, such as lifting up to 50 pounds.

As a subsidiary of the Delhaize Group, Hannaford offers attractive hourly pay scales and yearly salary rates to employees. Many entry-level cashiers and stock clerks earn between minimum wage and $12.00 an hour. Manager trainees may earn salary packages from $30,000 to $45,000 annually, depending on experience with the company or in the supermarket industry. Standard job benefits for full-time associates also include healthcare coverage, employee savings plans, paid time off, and 401(k) retirement plans. Regardless of position, workers may access bonus pay for holidays and Sundays as well as discounts on store products.
